"The International Military Staff Office of the Gender Advisor (GENAD) at NATO provides strategic advice on integrating gender perspectives and the Women, Peace and Security Agenda across NATO missions and activities. The office supports operational effectiveness by analyzing how conflicts affect men, women, boys, and girls differently. The NATO Committee on Gender Perspectives (NCGP), established in 1976, promotes gender mainstreaming within allied forces. The GENAD also advises on NATO's Human Security Agenda and helps develop cross-cutting policies. By embedding gender analysis into military planning and deterrence, NATO aims to strengthen its common values and operational capabilities."
